Won't you help support DayPoems? God's VengeanceBy John Hay10/8/1838-7/1/1905Saith the Lord, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay," saith the Lord; Ours be the anger divine, Lit by the flash of his word. How shall his vengeance be done? How, when his purpose is clear? Must he come down from his throne? Hath he no instruments here? Sleep not in imbecile trust Waiting for God to begin, While, growing strong in the dust, Rests the bruised serpent of sin. Right and Wrong, both cannot live Death-grappled. Which shall we see? Strike! only Justice can give Safety to all that shall be. Shame! to stand paltering thus, Tricked by the balancing odds; Strike! God is waiting for us! Strike! for the vengeance is God's.
